Birth Control Pills Junel Fe?


Annieoh

Hi, I was just prescribed Junel Fe birth control pills (norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol) to manage my hormones during pre-menopause. It's difficult to find any info on the packaging or how to contact the company (can't seem to look that up). I sent a message to my doctor but given that my sensitivity was listed in my chart before she prescribed them, and the general lack of knowledge with most Kaiser doctors who don't specialize in gluten intolerances or celiac, I don't have much hope she'll be of any help. 

But one ingredient has me concerned, pregelatinized starch. This can be derived from either corn which I don't have trouble with, or wheat which I do. Has anyone here taken these or can provide any feedback?

Here is a link to the original manufacturer, they have contact information at the bottom of the page.  However, it also comes in a generic version so it may not be made by this company.  Do you know the manufacturer?  It is usually on the container, although may be in code.  You should be able to find out from the pharmacy where you got it.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
